A story spanning more than 50 years

Our identity
Experts in language teaching
Sometimes, to go far, you need to know clearly where you want to go. We had that clear from the very beginning: to create a school of excellence in Tuscany where people could study languages, and English in particular.
Our school has been present in Tuscany since 1967. Over the years we have distinguished ourselves through the practical effectiveness of our teaching method and the results achieved by our students.
Over the years we have remained faithful to our goals:
- provide young people with the language skills that make it easier to enter the job market, both in Italy and abroad;
- provide workers, employees and managers with specialised language pathways to make companies more competitive in international markets and better able to seize their opportunities;
- provide anyone who wants to learn a language, whatever their reason, with a personalised learning solution suited to their needs.
The teaching method
People first: that is our secret.
An approach based on learning by doing
Our teaching method is based on learning by doing: learning grounded in the full application of languages in real contexts, both professional and everyday, and in acquiring knowledge through hands-on practice and day-to-day work activity.
Our principles
We start from solid foundations
Our approach to teaching is based on principles consolidated over the years.
Focus on results
We start from the user’s goals and expectations, helping them choose the best possible learning path through support and collaboration. Our aim is to make the student satisfied with their investment.
Practicality
Our teachers are industry experts able to meet the specific requirements of every corporate role. Only in this way can we achieve learning results that generalist courses simply cannot match. Finally, they know not only teaching methodology but also the techniques and strategies needed to tackle English certification exams successfully.
Interactive grammar
Grammar explanations and insights are constantly linked to examples and applications drawn from real life. Because learning a language happens through using it every day.
Role play/Simulations
From the very start, students on our courses are encouraged to put what they have learnt into practice. Role play and simulations are a way of using the language in realistic contexts and reinforcing retention.
Vocabulary
Knowledge of vocabulary and terminology is essential, particularly on specialist courses. A significant part of the lessons will focus on expanding the vocabulary available to the student.
Studying the living language
Sayings, set phrases and idiomatic expressions are typical of every language. Our teachers aim to pass on the most commonly used expressions to make it easier to use the language in real contexts.
Our teachers
Not just teachers, but professionals too
Our courses are taught by native-speaking, bilingual or highly qualified teachers, selected for their language competence and their ability to work towards concrete professional goals.
Teaching professionals
In language learning, success depends on the teachers: that is why our teachers go through a rigorous selection process.
